"""Meanwhile Sydney's interest in Brazilian midfielder Diego - one four players officially released by Adelaide United yesterday - is believed to have cooled. Wellington Phoenix are now expected to lead the race for his signature."""
 
We need to be careful we're not just picking up the crumbs.  Adelaide doesn't want him and Sydney also appears not to be interested.  There should be at least some warning bells sounding there.
 
Next season has to be a big one for Phoenix if we are going to attract anywhere near the break-even home attendance of 10,000, which means carefully recruiting the right personnel.  There are only 4 import positions available, so filling them needs to be properly researched rather than just making the easy pickings that require little effort but that may not produce the winning, enteraining brand we need.
